It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

lmao at the fantasy that a 90 year old segregationist would suddenly pivot left on his final term in office.
Maybe they're banking on dementia making him forget he's a racist, pro capital goon lmao
It's just a stutter sweatyStolen from Trillbillies, "the memories make the man, and honestly the man sucks. Let's convince him he was a maoist in his youth firebombing buildings"
usually dementia takes your recent memories first... so his psyche is doomed to return to McCarthy (if it can ever be said to have left McCarthy in the first place)
not a bad strategy compared to everything else they've got
See, this would be a much better rhetorical argument (but still shit for material reasons) than anything I've heard from fhe libs. But of course it would never occur to them, because it would rely upon the idea that the cloistered, absurdly privileged, increasingly demented bulwark of the capital class were anything except infallible symbols of superirotiy they shared in.
Or, libs gonna lib.
